{p 4 4 2}
{cmd:datazoom_pnadcontinua} extracts Continuous PNAD databases from the original IBGE microdata. 
Can be used for years 2012 to 2020. 

{p 4 4 2}
Although Continuous PNAD is a quartely survey, this program does not allow specific quarter to be chosen, only years. The package generates a single database for each year, with quarters appended. 
As Continuous PNAD is still published by IBGE, this program is
under constant update.
  
{p 4 4 2}
The Continuous PNAD is a panel survey, in which each household is interviewed for five consecutive quarters. Despite correctly identifying the same household in all five interviews, the Pnad Continuous does not assign the same identification number to each member of the household at every interview. 
In case the user wishes to work with an individuals panel,
it is necessary to construct a variable to identify each individual throughout different surveys.
 For this reason we use algorithms suggested by Ribas and Soares (2008).
The authors elaborated a basic system identification and an advanced one. They differ by the number of 
variables used to identify individuals in different surveys.
The idea is to verify inconsistencies in the set of variables. Either way the program may take a resonable 
amount of time to perform the identification process, depending on the computational
capacity.

{p 4 4 2}
If {opt nid} is selected, the program will generate a database for each selected year. Other options
 will yield one database for each PME panel. That is,
the program will generate a database for each set of households with partook the survey cycle in a given 
quarter. If so desired, use command {help append} to pool together databases.

{dlgtab:Input}

{phang} 
{opt years(numlist)} specifies the list of years the user wants to work with. This program
covers all years from 2012 to 2020. It is not possible to choose specific quarters.

{phang} {opt original(str)} indicates the path of the original data files. 
There is one data file for each quarter. All of these files must be placed in the same 
folder for the program's proper functioning.

{phang} {opt saving(str)} specifies the folder path where the new databases are to be saved.
